Zhan Hui: "...Okay, good, eat, Guangxi, eat more."

"You're welcome, don't be polite."

He's so enthusiastic, and he's treating you like a treat. Do you dare to be thicker-skinned?

Gu Chen finished the twenty skewers in three strokes, divided by two, and drank a large bowl of iced rice wine to rinse his mouth. His stomach was only six points full.

"Boss, grill another hundred skewers."

Next, you can eat slowly, drink slowly, and then watch the moon and talk.

"Guang Xi has a good appetite." Being able to eat well is a sign of blessing for a man. Zhan Hui praised: "It's a blessing to be able to eat well, unlike me."

"Alas~"

"For several days in a row, I couldn't eat anything, and it tasted like nothing."

And in recent days, they even smashed rotten eggs and rotten vegetable leaves into his house.

His wife, children, and children are always looked down upon when they go out, so don't live a miserable life.

"What's the matter? Master Zhan is tired of the chef's skills?"

Gu Chen smiled and joked, but when he saw Zhan Hui's grimace, he immediately got down to business.

"You're joking, you're joking, is Mr. Zhan worried about the abolition of government officials?"

Nonsense, what else can there be besides this?

However, Zhan Hui still asked questions politely and without shame.

"Guang Xi, why are the officials in those places you are in charge of so obedient?"

It's not like he didn't ask anyone to inquire about it, but he didn't ask anything.

"Actually, this matter is easy to say and difficult to say."

Gu Chen took a bite of the barbecue skewers, then looked at Zhan Hui and asked seriously.

"How do the people under Mr. Zhan do things?"

"Did they directly order them to leave, or explain clearly the pros and cons, or find a way out for them?"

Many officials, relying on their status, act with a higher level of ambition and speak arrogantly, which does not make people convinced and comfortable.

People will definitely not be willing to listen to you, and even if they do, they will hate you.

Sure enough, Zhan Hui said without hesitation: "Of course I let them go directly. This is the court's order. Is it possible that we have to ask them to leave?"

They are just some lowly government officials, but do they really think they are a person?

Without the court, they are nothing! ! !

"It's not necessary to ask for help, but it is still necessary to explain clearly the interests and benefits to others and give them a good attitude."

Gu Chen looked at Zhan Hui who didn't understand, and analyzed it with them sincerely.

"Although there are three, six or nine levels of people in the world, as long as he is an individual, no matter what his status is, he knows how to save face and seek advantages and avoid disadvantages."

"These government officials have lived in the local area for generations, relying on the local landlords and squires. When the common people see them, they have to call them "Master."

"You just tell him to get lost and you have a tyrannical attitude. This not only makes him lose his job, but also makes him lose his face in front of the villagers."

"Of course, you can also resort to thunderous means and attack them directly according to His Majesty's instructions. If anyone refuses to obey, they will be arrested for labor."

"But they will definitely hate you. As the saying goes, the king of hell is easy to deal with. If you let them hate you, your life will definitely not be easy."

Hearing this, Zhan Hui nodded repeatedly, he indeed asked his men to do this.

But the results were not good, and those unscrupulous people were not afraid at all.

Not only did they resist more and more fiercely, but they also ran into their house from time to time.

Those in the court looked at him and ridiculed him, and now there were storytellers in the market, describing him as a traitor who didn't care about the lives of the people.

He gritted his teeth, raised his head and said, "Please give Guangxi some advice."

This cannot go on.

If this continues, I'm afraid His Majesty will have to drink tea with him.

"You have to use kindness and power at the same time, persuade me with good words, and explain clearly the consequences of disobeying the court."

"We still have to find their weaknesses and force them to admit that they can't handle the tasks at hand. We must stand on the side of justice and the interests of the people."

"And there are always those cadres who are not strong-willed and don't want to offend the imperial court. Just give them some benefits and let these people go first."

"As long as one person is willing to leave, there must be two, three or four, and the remaining thorns can be used to threaten and exert pressure."

"When they know they are scared, you can ask people to persuade them nicely and give them a step down. This job will naturally be easier to handle."

"Master Zhan, you are a second-grade official. How many of their eldest officials have you seen?"

"Your kind words and advice will naturally be taken as gold."

Just like you are in a big company, doing a job that is both easy and profitable.

But the company suddenly wants to lay off employees. Not only does the company not want to pay you compensation, but the management also bosses you around and tells you to get out of here.

If you can be happy, you must make trouble.

At this time, the general manager of the company comes to you and first tells you all the things that are not good about your work, such as being late and leaving early to catch fish.

Are you feeling guilty?

At this time, he tells you that if you don't want to resign, it's not impossible, but the company will transfer you to work in the warehouse.

Not to mention that the working hours have doubled, and the salary will be halved.

Now, you have to hesitate, right?

Then the leader said again at this time that he also knows that it is difficult to find a job now and knows everyone's difficulties, so he will pay you a few months' salary out of his own pocket.

Would you rather take the money and get out, or would you rather work in a warehouse?

After this operation, there will only be a few thorns left, let alone cause any major trouble.

And as an official, you must be reasonable. If you are too arrogant to the government officials, the people will be disgusted with you.

think about it.

If you do this to your own people, wouldn't you be even more excessive to their people?

Governing a big country is like cooking small dishes, including oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, and they must be given just the right amount.

"Benefits? Where do they come from?" After hearing the meaning of Gu Chen's words, Zhan Hui immediately said anxiously: "Your Majesty didn't allocate money to me, how can I give them benefits?"

Is it possible that I have to pay for this terrible errand by myself?

If he had known this earlier, he would not have fought with Gu Chen for the right to host this event.

Oh, I almost forgot, there is no subsidy for this product.

"Of course it's the official's own money." Gu Chen lied without blushing and said in a low voice: "Master Zhan, which is more important, money or completing His Majesty's mission?"

"If the quarrel is really too serious, it will be a bit bad for you to serve as Minister of the Ministry of Personnel."

Although he is now in charge of the Ministry of Personnel, he does not hold a formal position.

Besides, Zhan Hui is now a second-rank official, and he is not short of money. His father Zhan Tong was also the Minister of the Ministry of Personnel.

Moreover, Zhan has a large family, a lot of money, and a lot of land, and is much richer than himself.

You are already so rich, so what’s the point of spending a little?

Anyway, it's not Gu Chen's expense.

"Yes, His Majesty's mission is the most important."

Zhan Hui has now fully figured it out. If he doesn't bleed this time, this job will definitely make people angry.

At that time, in order to appease the public anger, His Majesty will be dismissed from office.

"Master Zhan, just think about it clearly."

When Gu Chen told him so much, he was also thinking that not many people in the Sixth Department were using it now, so Lao Zhan would be dismissed or demoted early.

What should I do?

When the time comes, who will take the blame for himself? Will he still find a chance to fish?

My daughter-in-law said it right, anything that can be solved with money is no big deal.

It's just that the people who went to Japan haven't come back yet. Have they arrived in Shimane Prefecture?

Zhan Hui used Gu Chen's method, and a lot of blood came out. Finally, there were no rotten eggs or rotten leaves in the house, and the errands were done in an orderly manner.

Occasionally there are a few thorns, but it's not too difficult to deal with.

The emperor had just killed more than 30,000 people, half of whom belonged to wealthy merchants, landlords and gentry. Those people did not dare to be too chatty at this time.

At this time, the various supervisory censors of the Metropolitan Procuratorate began to write memorials to the emperor.

The impeachment case against Wu Yong was handled too hastily and many officials and wealthy families were killed unjustly.

"Han Yike, is this happening?"

Gu Chen sighed in his heart, fearing that Wu Yong would die like in history.

You know, the emperor has seen all the execution lists.

Among them was Fang Xiaoru, but Lao Zhu let him go when he saw his name.

Now that there are so many so-called unjust cases, the people must be talking a lot and are dissatisfied with the emperor's tyranny.

In order to calm down public anger and divert conflicts, Lao Zhu must find a scapegoat.

And Wu Yong was the scapegoat they had chosen long ago.

"There are indeed unjust cases all over the country." Han Yike, as the head of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, certainly knew: "Wu Yong is indeed too radical."

"When people are caught, they will be punished regardless of their care. Those officials and wealthy people cannot bear the punishment, so many confessions were obtained after being beaten."

"Wu Yong, on the other hand, executed according to law after getting a confession, confiscated his family property, and did not thoroughly investigate whether it was true or false. The wronged family members were not convinced."

"They gather outside the government offices all day long, shouting grievances, and refusing to leave until late at night. People's lives are also affected, and naturally there are many complaints."

So now among the people, when talking about Zhu Yuanzhang, they are dissatisfied and afraid.

But thanks to this juncture, the subordinate staff's revision of records was able to go so smoothly.
